extension cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:

minimum gauge size ...........................14 aWg

maximum length (shorter is better).......50 ft.

voltage conversion

the voltage conversion Must be performed by
an electrician or a qualified service personnel. the
voltage conversion is a two step process involving
rewiring the motor for the new voltage and install-
ing a new plug according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

note: If the diagram included on the motor con-
flicts with the one in this manual, the motor may
have changed since the manual was printed. If
this is the case, use the diagram provided inside
the motor wiring junction box instead of the one
provided in this manual.
